Wonder why they don't make cheese outta pig milk?

[dolo amber]

I also wonder why I wonder such things.

[LaraMN]

1. Wonder if when you gain weight, your pores get bigger, or you just get more?

If you got more pores and lost a ton of weight, would you be all hole-y with pores?

[EstimatedProphet]

3. You get more pores because you get more skin

[LaraMN]

16. Doesn't the existing skin just stretch?

That was what seemed to happen with my belly when I was preggers.

[EstimatedProphet]

17. It does, and as it does you grow more skin

[LaraMN]

18. That's flippin' amazing.

Flippin'. Amazing.

:P

2. Is there pig milk???

I have never heard of it, though I suppose that piglets must be fed some way.

BTW, you have a weird mind.

:hi:

[Left Is Write]

6. It's what the little piglets eat.

:)

[greatauntoftriplets]

30. I figured.....

I am a city girl who has only seen pigs screw, never feed their young.

:shrug:

Milk comes out of a plastic bottle, right? When I was a kid, it was a glass bottle, of course.

26. All mammals make milk

at least the female mama ones. That's why they're (we're) called mammals.

4. Your wonderment is why we love you so.

[EstimatedProphet]

5. Because you'd have to milk the pig.

7. I'm pretty sure it wouldn't be kosher either, should that be a concern for people.

:D

8. EEEEEKKKKK!!!!!

Once, many years ago, I saw pigs mate. It was not pretty. The "grownups" (us) were in our 20s at the time and were at a county fair with much younger siblings of one of us. We were asked to explain what was going on.

:hide:

9. Did you tell them it was a pig pile?

[EstimatedProphet]

10. Look! It's a pig party!

[supernova]

20. Porgy!

12. We really didn't know what to say....

we were all city kids.

:scared:

I think we told them they were having a fight. We were all as :wtf: as the young'uns were.

[Hugin]

28. Obviously, dolo has never milked a pig....

:eyes:


:yoiks: (I said this out loud, didn't I?)

11. Cheese Out of Human Breastmilk...

Enjoy.

13. I think I threw up a lil' in my mouth

Afraid to read link :scared:

:D

[TommyO]

14. Don't worry, it can't be done

I checked out the link and this is what they have to say:

It turned out that breast milk can not curdle, because the protein content is lower, and because the protein in breast milk is more easily digested compared to cow’s milk. That’s why, unmodified cow’s milk is unsuitable for babies. And on the other hand, adding acid to further ‘digest’ breastmilk protein won’t curdle the milk.

[Inchworm]

19. -whew-

I envisioned a whole process of breastmilk cheesemaking. Thanks for getting that image out of my head :D

:P

[ruiner4u]

25. that would be an interesting cottage industry...

:)

[EstimatedProphet]

21. As gross as that sounds...why not?

Milk is food made by the body. Human milk is for humans, by design. We should really be more grossed out by cow's milk.

But the idea is a little gross nonetheless.

Your post made me think "Hey wait...didn't I ask that as well at some point?" :think:

I need therapy.

15. Would they call it HamCheese and would it taste like bacon?

Hmm a BLT with pig cheese...

[dolo amber]

22. SAGANAKI!1!! !!

Now THAT's impressive!

[Magrittes Pipe]

27. What dolo hasn't told any of you is the genesis of this question.

We were out to dinner, and were talking about... well, bacon, or something.

Then she says: "Great cheese comes from happy pigs!"




And I look at her, dumbstruck.

[dolo amber]

29. *I* knew what I meant

31. Now you've got me wondering about that.
